Neat Treat

Every afternoon at dismissal, I choose a name from a box and then check that student’s desk to see if it’s neat and clean. If it is, that student receives a “Neat Treat” to take home. I put that name in my desk, and when all of the names have been chosen, I start over again. If the chosen student’s desk is not neat I put the name back into the box and choose another. This incentive has resulted in very organized desks and very little time wasted while a student hunts for materials.
